Both of my 1/2" ratchets have given up. One is a craftsman but with Sears g=
one and the nearest Lowes well over an hour from me, I think rebuilding is =
my best option. (Hell, I didn't even know it was an option.)
So, MY question is where would one source parts for them?
Thanks

Facom and SK parted ways about 15 years ago. They were independent
for a while, but were bought up by Ideal about a decade ago. Ideal
has pumped a lot of money into a new manufacturing facility, and some
new products. Quality is quite high these days.

I suspect that ratchet head on your torque wrench can be rebuilt. If<br>
